Monza, Italy - September 4: The Italian Grand Prix's provisional starting grid has been set for the upcoming Formula 1 Grand Prix of Italy at Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Several drivers are in the mix for pole position on Saturday. Charles Leclerc led the way in the first hour of practice, followed by his Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton.
However, George Russell led the second hour of practice, edging out Leclerc and Kimi Antonelli, the current Drivers' Championship leader. Antonelli is facing a ten-place grid penalty due to a new power unit, which may force him to play the team game on Saturday to help Russell secure pole position. Qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix begins at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
